To all whom it, may concern.-

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM S. LANEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lith opolis, in the county of Fairfield and Stateof Ohio,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Steam Attachments for Cook-Stoves; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of referencemarked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to heating and cooking stoves, and has for its object to provide a stove that will be adapted for domestic, laundry, and cooking purposes.

The improvementconsists of the novel features which will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed, and which are shown in the annexed drawings, in Which- Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section of a stove embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a cross-section on the line X X of Fig. 1 Fi 3 is a cross=section on the line Y Y of Fig. 1.

The stove is of ordinary construction, comprising the fire-box A, the oven B, the ashpit O, the hot-air space D between the stovetop and the oven, and the hot-air space E beneath the oven.

In the rear of the stove is arranged the steam cooking=chan1ber G, the water-tank F, and the clothes boiler or stea1ner H, the three being placed in the same vertical line and above one another, as shown most clearly in Fig. '1. The heater I, placed in the fire=box, is lower than the tank F, and is connected with said tank by the pipe J, which is connected with the bottom of said tank F and is connected by steam-pipe f with the steanr-chamber H. The pipe J passes down through the ash-pit, through hot air space E, and into and up through the cooking-chamber G to tank F, as shown. The steam-pipe f extends up through the fire-box, through hot=air space 1) and into tank F, Where it takes a short turn and connects with the bottom of the clothes= steaming chamber H.

The chambers G and H are in communication through the pipe K, the latter being pro= vided with the cock 7t, which can be opened or closed, as required,-to establish or cut oit communication between the two chambers, as required.

The c1othes-steaming chamber H is connected with the smoke pipe L by the two horizontal pipes M and N. The pipe M has a cock m, which can be opened to establish a free passage for the escape of the steam before removing the clothes from said chamber H, The pipe N is provided with a safety or check valve n to relieve a high pressure of steam.

Water is poured into the trough O at one end of the tank F and escapes from thence into the tank through a suitable opening, which is closed by the gate P. The water flows from tank F through pipe J to heater 1, where it is heated. I escapes through pipe f to chamber H, and from chamber H to chamber G through pipe K. Water can be drawn from tank F through the cock Q. The shield R protects the heater I from intense heat and prevents it fromburning. In the event of a slow fire the shield can be removed.

I-Iavinglthus described my invention, What I claim, and. desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-

1. The combination, with the stove and the tank F, and the chambers H and G, above and below tank F, respectively, of the heater in the fire=chamber connected with the tank F and with the chamber H, and the pipe connecting chambers H and G, substantially as and for the purpose described.

2. The combination, with the stove, the heater I, and the water tank F, of the 0113.111 ber H, connected with the said heater, and the pipes M and N, the one having a cock, the

The steam from heater ber G, and the pipe K, having cock is, con necting the two chambers G and I'I,substa11- tially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix mysignaturc in presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM S. LANEY.
